Barry is perfect. Always wanted a baritone. Perhaps I'll take a leaf out of your book and build a monster. How'd you find the process? Any major pitfalls? The colour is beautiful, too.

We remain unenlightened. Instead, we found a tiny deserted scrap heap.

We went and got lost on a foreign coast. Whilst fending off literally hordes of stunning dragonflies (none of which stayed still long enough to be macroed, how selfish) we stumbled across an abandoned crumbling town complete with minaret.

Do you guys get special permission to photograph? At this gig there were about 5 photographers between the barrier and the stage, but they got punted out after the second song and I only saw one of them again at the end, whereas I set myself up against the barrier and stayed there for most of the gig. It was pretty busy, so I couldn't really move, though. ]]>

@Dorkmuffin Excellent stuff. I really really really want to take some band pics.@Cara Congratulations on the prize! Definitely deserved. And I love the typewriter shots.@Taphead Did you put it back together again?

Went to the Moto GP last night. Spent the whole goddamn race panning madly from left to right. Probably looked odder than usual. It turns out it's really fucking hard to get good results, as my hit/fail ratio can attest. Still, got a couple I like, even if does look like I've photoshopped all the riders out. Practice practice practice practice etc

I’d been employed as the personal photographer of performance artist Coralee Lynn Rose and as such I’d been sent to Tampa to document her performance at the annual Nude Night art expo. Coralee would sit motionless and nearly naked (save for opera gloves, a hood over her head, panties, and stockings/boots,) on a small platform beside an empty chair. Passersby were invited to take a seat, at which point Coralee would creak to life, slowly leaning forward, grabbing a black-foil heart shaped chocolate and handing it to each guest.

The crowd was interesting. The young people, presumably those who’d grown up in the area and never left, were more often a bit crass and a bit pervy. However, there was a large population of older people who attended. These retirees were from everywhere, and usually quite cultured and intellectual.

It was the second night of the event, and I hovered near, taking photographs of people as they interacted with Coralee’s piece. I noticed three couples enter the venue together; in their early to mid sixties, I’d estimate, and all quite fit. Two of the ladies wore short hemmed dresses and heels, showing off some fabulous legs; the third wore a stretchy 70’s style halter-top one piece that flared out to wide flowing pant legs, very complimentary to her hairstyle of a near-shaved head. Each of these ladies walked along side their men, smiling and chatting, clearly enjoying the scantily clad costumed performers and artwork covering the walls.

I ended up engrossed in conversation with a gentleman I’d met earlier, and I missed the initial approach of these three couples to Coralee’s mannequin-still self. Mid-sentence, I turned and saw the sight photographed above: the shaved-head woman who had clearly not been wearing a bra had slung her top down around her waist to pose equally bare-chested and still beside Coralee. Her friends were all squealing with delight and taking pictures, while her fellow was looking at her adoringly and oozing with compliments and gratitude. “Oh! Oh, thank you. Oh, you’re wonderful. Ah! Thank you!” he said as he pressed his hand against his chest.

I snapped a few photographs before the moment was lost and as they walked away, I exclaimed loudly: “You’ve got quite a fabulous woman there!” to which her fellow turned to me and said, beaming “Oh, I know it!”

I watched as they disappeared into the crowd, arms casually around each other, when he raised one hand to gently rub her half-inch long head-fuzz with affection before kissing her gently on the temple.

I want to be this woman in thirty years. ]]>

Yesterday was an interesting day. A magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit the Iran/Pakistan border for the second time in a week. This time we got some aftershocks, which was a surreal experience indeed.Then in the evening we got some weather. Actual weather! Hooray!Turns out taking pictures of lighting is hardandscary.

has one that fits the bill 100% on paper, but I hear it can be really soft at the maximum aperture, which basically makes it pointless.

So I was thinking about vintage lenses as I've heard they tend to be super-sharp and robust. I generally don't use auto-zoom anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem. Does anyone know of any good lenses/ brands that are reasonably easy to get a hold of and would fit a Canon DSLR mount? I'm not averse to adapters if it's a brand that has a lot of good lenses available. ]]>

And the endless scrolling is great if it's available on demand but not when it's there whether you want it or not. Grrr.

Really going to miss the stats, mainly because i am both curious and a bit narcissistic when it comes to my pictures and who's looking at them. I know i could keep a slightly emasculated version if i stay pro, but what's the point of that now? Which brings me to...

Ads. Can they be blocked? I haven't had to try yet but i hope my trusty Adblock Plus works on them.

Not happy with how titles and descriptions are displayed, particularly for sets. I've got a couple of contacts who give a lot of background with their pictures and the new display has really made a mess of that.

Hard to find stuff like maps, exif and the like but i expect that will get easier with time as i get more used to the new order.

Generally like a lot of the features but wish i had more control and choice as to how things get displayed.

I've noticed the media seem generally positive about it all while user groups and the help forum are blazing with hate.

So the Samyang is pin-sharp in the centre even when wide open, but trails off quite heavily towards the corners into softness and vignetting. It's also a fully manual lens. None of these things bother me a whole heap to be completely honest. For the kind of stuff I'm intending to use the lens, the vignetting is actually a good thing for me, and the MF I've gone over.The Sigma is surprisingly sharp and handles itself a lot better than the F1.4 as far as I can see, but the Bokeh (I had NO idea what that was until today) is a bit meh, apparently, and the build quality a bit jittery (an issue I know from my own Sigma lenses). The focus ring on my zoom lens is really crappy and falls out of focus at the drop of a hat - or indeed the release of the ring.

Problem with the Samyang is that it's quite big for its class and it's a bit more expensive than the Sigma on Amazon. That might change if I shop around, though.

Any other lenses like these that you prefer/ own/ love? ]]>

I think this crop factor also has the effect of decreasing aperture by ~1 step (so a 1.4 becomes a 1.8) but I'm not sure.

They don't go out of their way to make it clear, but I believe this is why the product description for the Samyang lens says "a fast, wide angle, manual focus prime lens for full frame cameras, or a fast standard prime when used on APS-C/DX sensors" (because the latter have a crop factor; emphasis mine). ]]>

I'm not making any rash decisions yet, but I'll be watching the site very carefully over the next couple of months to see if things improve. If not, I may well cancel my pro account, pull all my stuff down and find somewhere else to keep it. ]]>

Portrait shots always tend to feel like such wasted space on either side. I want my screen to be fully occupied by landscape shots, don't mind scrolling away for contextual info, but portraits are either too small (less than the height of my monitor) or too big (forced to scroll). It can't be that hard to design a half-decent layout for each scenario. ]]>

/edited to add: i just remembered i did another shoot that had fully LED spots, and it was impossible for me to balance the colours. I'm assuming the LEDs only give out pure colour, since with tungsten, you have the full compliment of RGB wavelengths to work with while colour balancing. with LEDs, it's just impossible. I have to see if high CRI LEDS will be an improvement, but i've yet to find any. ]]>

Also, @Jehrot, gorsh, thanks! (actual blushing may have occurred).

And yeah, @oldhat, IF ONLY I HAD BETTER LIGHTING/BETTER EDITING CAPABILITIES but I was pretty pleased that at least part of that shot was in focus. Shooting at that place kills me because my camera can't autofocus on ANYTHING when the lighting is that low, so it's blind luck most of the time. ]]>

And yeah, I think LEDs put out a pretty limited range of wavelengths. I've never shot a purely LED show as far as I can recall so I've not had too big a problem with them. ]]>

Usually, this particular show is pretty flat on Danyl with the spotlights, but some really weird and interesting stuff started happening when they only used one or a couple of colours. I messed around with those a lot in Aperture and some of the resultant images, I'm really happy with.

@Dorkmuffin - I feel like this all the time. It's why I gave up trying to take photos at the SWANS show last week. I have started to hate taking photographs at night with my camera, because it's so frustrating. I wanted to try and make an eyepatch camera with infrared, but I think everyone freaking out about google glasses and the photographer who took pictures of hie neighbor's windows makes it not a good time to try kickstarting such a project. ]]>

Striped is a single photo, with very little photoshopping in it.

out from is a portrait of my stepmother, which usually doesn't allow any photographies taken of her :-) On the contrary of the previous pic, this one needed a lot of post-editing to get all the layers.

SHOCK WAVES is one of my biggest serie (32 pics). The pic comes from my next short movie with the same title which may be released on my blog Mondo Corretto this week or next...

institute comes from a smaller serie (6 pics). I took them while gathering some of my childhood stuff for another short movie project.

making a crane is actually very simple, you just need to make sure the holes are identically spaced apart when you drill them and everything else falls into place. if you have a sturdy tripod or lightstand, you can use that to attach to the centre post of the crane.see the pics below of the steel crane i built last winter:

i used steel because it was the cheapest material i could find that allowed me to make it extensible (total of $45 for the material) without wobbling. it also made for an unreasonably heavy crane (which means extra counterweights), but at least it was smooth.

the jib head below:aluminum angle and a recycled Lacie HD case. in retrospect, i should've built an adjustable head on the side to allow better pans & tilts, but at least it worked well enough. ]]>

Samyang 35mm F1.4 and the Samyang 35mm T1.5 video/ cine lenses and if the video one will give me the same stills quality but also a better drive for manual focus in video, I wouldn't mind paying the few quid extra, since I use my camera for video a lot too. Any opinions on that? ]]>

I didn't even consider photoshop, went straight for Zerene stacker which I've been playing with all day. It's worked a treat so far. As long as I do the groundwork first. This basically involves making sure I'm aligning the shots as best I can as I go. Easier said than done at 5:1 magnification. I got a little more confident toward the end and shot at f4ish but at 3-4:1 mag, requiring around twenty shots to get focus. They turned out ok..a few artifacts here and there which I'll sort out later, but work in progress!

As for using Cine lenses for stills, I've been using the Samyang 14mm cine lens recently and it's very usable indeed. I've actually bought myself the stills version though. Two reasons: 1) the focus throw is insanely long which is a pain in the ass and 2) the aperture ring is de-clicked, also annoying. I shoot a fair amount of video but rarely use a follow focus or need to seamlessly drift through t-stops. Great lenses though, whatever you go for. Hope that's even slightly helpful. ]]>

So I ended up taking some that look best in B&W, and some color photos that I didn't realize were color, so approached them as B&W. I almost feel like this has been a cheat, but I'll take it.

Back from my yearly noise-festival pilgrimage. More to come, once I gear up to dealing with low-light concert photography. (Could be a while. There are a lot of shots. I think they might be better suited to a Vine account, tbh.)

In the meantime, the first one was an installation, and the second one is of people setting off fire lanterns during a stage performance:

These were all taken with the Samyang 14mm 2.8 mentioned earlier in the annals of this thread. Absolutely amazing lens for the money. $350 US exceptionally well spent.

Nice to see it hasn't stopped you taking excellent pictures.

I spent a quiet but entertaining Halloween round at KK's. Vegetable stew this year, i think the local trick or treaters are wise to us...

of course) for free from a friend. The neck was warped beyond repair, but I decided to go to town on the body.

Got the paint off with a heat gun and sanded the body down; hooray, it's plywood!

For the new finish I decided to go with ebonising. The process had two stages in this case. 1) To build up more tannin in the wood, I brushed it with a concontion made by brewing a cup of tea with 7 bags of Lipton Yellow Label (finally a use for that crap) overnight, letting that dry and sanding down the raised grain; 2) I then brushed iron acetate (made by dissolving steel wool in vinegar because SCIENCE) on the body, which darkens the tannin. I love the fact that you're not staining or dyeing the wood in any way, you're actually changing the colour on a molecular level.

This is a shot of the acetate going on. It's super fun seeing the wood get darker, I'll have to do a time-lapse of it at some point.

After that, I finished the body with oil and here's what the plywood looks like now.

I call it The Wrang-Wrang and it says MEOW. Bokonon would understand. Oh, and that's a pebble I picked up on Coney Island jammed behind the tremolo block, for mojo. You can see heavily grain-filled bits where the acetate didn't penetrate the coating, and I'm totally fine with that, I dig the ratty look on this.

Canyoneering is fun. ]]>

The Erdinger basically tastes like Weissbier and I find myself paying attention to the bar staff pouring it to make sure it really isn't normal beer. Beck's Blue is dreadful but - having said that - it basically just tastes like Beck's, so I guess that's impressive... ?

Went out with camera for the first time in months yesterday. Nothing spectacular but quite liked this one. View from the Hayling Billy disused railway line over Langstone Harbour to Portsmouth. I came here once when I was a small child with an aunt. I can't remember why, I think something was going on in the family. But I couldn't remember where it was for years and years. I remembered a lot of traffic noise, a small, odd beach, and a derelict bridge. And then a couple of years ago I stumbled on this car park and remembered... ]]>

We busted our asses in my seasonally chilly art truck for about 6 hours and put out 10 photos (we took a few hundred, these are the ones that worked the best on quick review).

You can see our slightly different final takes on our respective instagram feeds: oddbill and gold_cartridge.
